We had a reasonable meal at this hotel. There was a good selection on the menu. I had a braised beef cheek on potato puree with a delicious gravy - the only downside was that the meat was tough. My dining companion had a lamb shank with potato gratin and spinach which was very nice. The meals were reasonably priced,... More

My friend and I made a short visit to Prague and after being burned by our dinner cruise the first night, the food was dreadful, we were less enthused about finding a native Czech restaurant to really enjoy the cuisine. Well due to the cold and rain, we ran to the closest restaurant we could find in near the city... More

So good that we went twice during our two night stay. Hot, freshly cooked food Czech style. Good prices. Will definately go back next time.

We were in Prague for a week, staying at the Hotel General (check it out). We'd spent an afternoon discovering the Old Town and frankly lost sight of the time so just went for the nearest restaurant - which turned out to be the Hotel Cerny Slon. What a delightful surprise, really old feel about the place, very friendly (isn't... More

Got the Prague roasting pan, with ham, pork, duck, dumplings, God remembers what else, and thought it was very tasty. My wife got the prawn appetizer and also liked it a lot. Tables outside in the shadow of the Tyn Church; you don't get the view, but you do get the atmosphere. Recommended.

We stopped into this place after the restaurant where we had reservations was closed. I didn't realize that it was a hotel restaurant, or I probably wouldn't have gone in. We had a cocktail and ordered a bottle of wine. My wife ordered the lamb shank and I ordered beefsteak. Our meals were served and my "rare" steak came medium... More

We had dinner at this cute little place on Sept 4, 2011. I ordered the Marinated Duck Breast with Figs and my hubby had the Tiger Prawns with Glass Noodles (Asian style). They were both so good that we shared with each other and couldn't decide which one was best. We also had a very nice bottle of White Czech... More

The restaurant isn't bad, the food is good, but not worth what it costs. Great presentation of the meal, everything is tasty, but it's a very very cold atmosphere and the old lady serving really doesn't help to make you feel comfortable...
